Quote from Andriushchenko: "[The Russians] started active trenching near the forests (Fedorivskyi and Nikolskyi). It looks like an urgent construction of another line of defence on the Nikolske front (Nikolske − Manhush line)."
Details: Andriushchenko added that Russian aircraft activity has been observed over the road from Nikolske (Donetsk Oblast) to Kinskyi Rozdoriv (Zaporizhia Oblast).
Андрющенко повідомив, що на межі Запорізької і Донецької областей активізувались окупанти − помітили їхню авіацію, а також вантажівки з солдатами, які рухаються в сторону Нікольського. Відео з Telegram Андрющенка pic.twitter.com/3SA6EGnQ28

Apart from that, many trucks with Russian personnel and cargo are returning to the Nikolske area in the Mariupol district.
Andryushchenko said that the invaders told the locals they received an order to "retreat behind the pyramids" [a line of defence fortified with concrete anti-tank obstacles – ed.].
